Blackstone Chicken and Green Beans

I love using chicken thighs for stir fry. They cook quickly, remain tender, and are much more forgiving than chicken breasts are. We used green beans, but you can sub in a vegetable medly or whatever you have on hand. Broccoli, pea pods, zucchini, onions, carrots, and asparagus all make great additions and substitutions. The sauce combines pantry staples like soy sauce, sriracha, and brown sugar with ginger and sesame oil for an umami-rich glaze that pulls everything together and works great to add flavor to the rice, too.

Using a griddle keeps the process fast and efficient. Everything cooks evenly on a flat surface, and it’s easier to stir and manage your ingredients in real-time. You can also make a massive amount without having to work in batches or destroy your entire kitchen.

This dish is so easy to customize! Adjust the spice to your taste by adding more or less chili flakes or sriracha. Add carrots, cabbage, bell peppers, or mushrooms for more vegetables. Serve it over steamed rice, noodles, or on its own for a lower-carb meal.
